Redistribute the Wealth<\/p>\n
Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama, I need the money.” I laughed.<\/p>\n
Once in the restaurant my server had on a “Obama 08” tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference — just imagine the coincidence.<\/p>\n
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need–the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.<\/p>\n
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.<\/p>\n
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment, I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money that he\u00a0had earned even though the actual recipient deserved money more.<\/p>\n
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.<\/p>\n
